Sioux Falls, South Dakota — Extension offices across northwest Iowa have offered the “Annie’s Project” program a number of times in our area. If you’ve always wanted to learn more, another opportunity to take part in the program for women in the agriculture industry is coming up just outside our area.
South Dakota State University Extension presents the Annie’s Project program beginning on October 22nd in Sioux Falls.
Robin Salverson, SDSU Extension Cow/Calf Field Specialist says that if you are a woman and you have ever asked a farm/ranch management question and not understood the answer or if you signed papers at the bank or FSA and didn’t really understand what they were for, or if you been thinking about if you have enough insurance or an estate plan, or if you wished you knew more about marketing your cattle or crops, then she says you are a perfect candidate for Annie’s Project.
Annie’s Project was designed to empower women by providing detailed farm/ranch management information and build networks between women.
If this is something that interests you, you do need to rush to register, as registration ends Monday, October 15, 2018.
Over a six-week period women will learn how to develop financial records, learn about key communication skills, gain a better understanding of retirement and estate planning and expand their marketing knowledge – all while having fun in a supportive learning environment.
Classes meet once a week beginning October 22, 2018 at the Sioux Falls Extension Regional Center. The classes continue on October 29, November 5, 12, 19 and 26, and run from 5:30 to 8:45 p.m.
The cost is $125 per person and meals will be served at each session.
For more information, you can call the SDSU Extension Regional Center in Sioux Falls at 605-782-3290.
